Brassfield Estate

Aromatically the wine offers seductive notes of Bing cherries, pencil shavings, dried red plums, and a hint of hay. The mouthfeel is classic Ramey: plush, round and silky-smooth. The forward fruit character of red raspberries and bright cherries are well supported by a finish of toasted bread, walnuts, and vanilla. The balance of all these components, along with its refreshing acidity, shapes this Pinot Noir into an exceptional hedonistic experience. Perfect to pair with roasted chicken; seared salmon, mushroom risotto; pan-fried lamb chops with rosemary garlic; or pasta alla vodka.

The Brassfield Estate Zinfandel is a lighter style red zin; pretty red fruit flavors on the palate; soft in the finish.

86 PTS WILFRED WONG. A firm wine, the dried herbed '09 Brassfield Esate Sauvignon Blanc comes across as a crisp, varietally accuarate wine.

87 PTS WILFRED WONG. A husky effort, the full-flavored '04 Brassfield Estate Syrah comes through with power on the palate; ripe and deep, this is one for real red wine lovers; try with braised meats.
